I would think that you are wasting your time developing twice.  OTOH, if this is
something that works for you, then I would tell you to continue doing this
regardless what anyone says.

As far as the difference in EI is concerned, you may be metering differently or
looking for something very different.  My images "House Of Dreams" and "Bosky
Bagatelle" (in the West Wing of my Web page) were shot at EI 50 as metered
through a #25 filter.  For the most part, however, my images are shot at EI 250.

When I was using D76 I used it 1+1 dilution 70F 10 minutes.  I know that Kodak
suggests otherwise, but we all need to find what works for us and follow it.
